"Newcastle and Brentford will be looking to strengthen their hopes of European qualification when they head-to-head on Saturday evening in the Premier League. Brentford can potentially climb up to sixth with a convincing win at St James' Park against a Magpies side who have lost their last two while also crashing out of the Carabao Cup in midweek. Still, a victory for Eddie Howe's men would take them back into the top half and level on points with the Bees on 36 points."
"Newcastle have won nine of their last 10 home games against Brentford in all competitions (D1) since losing their first ever meeting in September 1934. Brentford have won two of their last three league games against Newcastle (L1), having failed to win any of their previous 10 (D1 L9). Brentford are looking to complete their second ever league double over Newcastle, previously doing so in the 1934-35 second tier campaign."
Newcastle host Brentford at St James' Park with both teams seeking to bolster European qualification prospects. Brentford can climb to sixth with a convincing win, while Newcastle can move back into the top half and match Brentford on 36 points by winning. Confirmed lineups are provided ahead of the 5:30pm kickoff. The fixture will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and via the Sky Go app in the UK. Historical records show Newcastle have dominated recent home meetings, while Brentford have achieved two wins in their last three league encounters with the Magpies.
